Twilight Sparkle's Diary Part 2 2010-2011

Dear Diary

I feel absolutely terrible. Rarity offered to make all of us dresses and it turned out to be a total disaster. She was so busy letting us dictate that we wanted that we didn't even stop to think that she knows what she's doing. She's the pony with the dress shop. To make matters worse Hoity Toity showed up for a fashion show that had all of us realizing that we look absolutely ridiculous.

I now know that we were wrong. I didn't even try the dress on that Rarity made for me. It was very kind of her to offer to make dresses for all of us. I should have tried it on which would have made me realize that it was absolutely perfect for me. Instead Rarity let us tell her what we wanted and it was a total disaster.

When I looked up at the stars above me I realized just how silly I looked. We all looked pretty silly. I just wish Rarity would come outside. I'm worried about her. I haven't seen her since the show. I don't think anypony has. We have to make this up to her. There has to be some way to undo the damage we did.

Dear Diary

We finally got Rarity to come outside and it was perfect timing too. Hoity Toity allowed us to show him the real dresses. We also made the dress that Rarity designed for herself. She is truly gifted. It's like she can see our essence and bring it to life with each dress. It is really freaky how Fluttershy knows so much about sewing. I wonder why she doesn't do any since she knows all sorts of things.

The show was a total success. Hoity Toity loved everything. I think Rarity should ask Fluttershy for some help since Hoity Toity wanted to place a really large order. I bet the ponies would just love her dresses in Canterlot. I did learn that I shouldn't look a gfit horse in the mouth. Next time someone offers something so generous I just need to be grateful for it and not be so critical especially when I was so long along with the other ponies.

We are going to be the best dressed ponies at the Galloping Gala. I am so excited that we all get to go. It just wouldn't be the same if we all couldn't go. I bet we're going to have such a fantastic time. I am really excited about it. This will be my first time and I think it is fitting that I share this with my very best friends in all of Equestria.

Dear Diary

It has been crazy around here. Pinkie Pie was twitching and doing all sorts of nutty things. I didn't know what to make of it. I was so sure there was some explanation for it. I followed her around to see if I could figure it out but I never did. This is just one of those things that doesn't have an explanation. She can sense things and I accept that.

I just don't understand why me finally believing Pinkie would be the doozy after all we did run into a hydra. Now that was just scary. I can't believe I was able to make it across to the other side. It was kinda scary when I was about to loan in the bog only to have a bubble burst and lift me up to the other side. Pinkie really was driving me crazy.

So now I will pay attention when she has a sense about something. It wasn't very fun getting hit by doors or having things land on me. I guess there are just times when you just believe in something even if it makes no sense. I guess I'll have to get one of those umbrella hats. I'm sure it could come in handy on rainy and sunny days.

Dear Diary

It was so great seeing Cloudsdale. I was only able to create wings for Rarity since the spell was so hard. I found an easier one that allowed the rest of us to be able to walk on clouds. The wings were beautiful but they were very delicate. I understand how Rarity could get caught up in the beauty since there weren't any other wings quite like her wings. It is such a shame that the sun melted them.

Rainbow Dash's sonic rainbooom was awesome. Rainbows are so beautiful. She was able to pull it off while saving Rarity and the Wonderbolts. I just knew she had it in her. Now everypony knows what I know. Rainbow is the best flyer in all of Equestria. It would have been cool to be able to fly even it was just temporary.

Maybe I'll try that spell again one day. I would like to know how it would be to fly around. But the spell is so hard. I am proud of myself for being able to create wings for Rarity. They were such a hit. I am glad that she had them instead of me since I wouldn't want to get all that attention. Rarity got a little too caught up in things since she almost ruined things for Rainbow. We were there to support her not have Rarity show off her wings.

At least the library is clean again. It seemed to take longer to tidy things up the second time around. I'm just glad that I have such great friends who are filling to lend a hoof when I need it. Oh that reminds me of a spell I want to try tonight. Now I just need to find the book the spell was in. I think it was on the top shelf.

Dear Diary

I just wanted to go visit Zacora and get some tea. Instead I ran into a cockatrice when I was walking through Everfree Forest. It turned me into stone. When I was unstoned I felt a slimy taste in my mouth. I think I might have eaten a snail. I had to keep brushing my teeth until I got that horrible taste out of my mouth. Luckily Fluttershy was able to save me and the other fillies along with her chicken.

Fluttershy used the stare and it worked. I guess I underestimate Fluttershy since she's so shy and barely speaks above a whisper. When it comes to those she cares about she can be quite scary. I know I don't want to see the scare. The girls now listen to every word she says. I think that stare really comes in handy. I know those fillies would have driven me insane within minutes.

At least I won't have to worry about running into that freaky creature again while I'm out taking a walk in the woods. I was there all day and most of the night. Fluttershy came with me to see Zacora so we could get the tea. I'm just glad I won't be turned to stone again. That's wasn't fun at all. I could have been there for days if Fluttershy hadn't shown up. I don't know what would have happened. I might have been stuck that way forever.

Dear Diary

That was quite a show. I would never have the courage to do something in front of all those ponies. It is one thing to say a speech since I can have cards with me but quite another to show some talent. I'm not really sure what my talent is at least as far as talent shows go. I can't carry a tune and if i tried I'd send everypony screaming into the night.

It is just silly how the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't seem to realize that they aren't going about getting their marks the right way. I guess they will learn when they need to and get it when they figure things out. I don't think they were supposed to be funny but they did make everyone laugh. I don't think it really counts when you accidentally make people laugh.

I guess I could do some magic but it would be too nerve wracking. Spike isn't always reliable when I need something. He still claims he has no idea where those cupcakes were that I brought home. I think he ate them but he keeps on denying it. I guess I'll just have to get more. I am just hopeless in the kitchen.

Dear Diary

Rarity really surprised me. She handled herself a lot better than I would if I was kidnapped by those awful diamond dogs. You don't have to know how to fight to get yourself out of a bad situation. She proved that and she got all those jewels. I'm really impressed with her since I know she hates touching mud that isn't imported.

But of course we went to help her out since Spike was so worried about her. It was so sweet and noble of him to sacrifice his jewel like that. I know how he loves eating jewels. Luckily he didn't eat all of them by the time we got back to Ponyville. I'm so sore from pulling that wagon back. Rarity brought a lot of jewels back with her so I'm sure she'll be able to make many gorgeous outfits. She has such a gift for that.

I'm so glad that Rarity taught me how to hunt down gems like she does. That really came in handy when we had no idea where she was. I know I would have been terrified if I was kidnapped by those dogs. I would be confident that my friends would come through for me. Spike is in his bed conked out from his busy day. I think he has a tummy ache from all the gems he ate but he's too stubborn to admit it.

Dear Diary

Wow a Pinkie Swear can be very painful. Pinkie Pie makes it look so easy. I thought I was going to poke an eye out when I swore that I wouldn't tell anypony about Fluttershy's secret. There really should be a loophole for secrets especially secrets like this. I think everypony already knows about Spike but I really wish I could have told Fluttershy about Rarity when Fluttershy told me that she was absolutely miserable being a model.

Pinkie Pie kept popping up to remind me that I need to keep my mouth shut. I understand that keeping secrets is part of being a good friend but I think this time telling the secrets would have been for the best. Sure most secrets need to be kept but both of my friends are absolutely miserable because they don't know what the other one is thinking.

I just wish there was a way for me to help these two out. Fluttershy is miserable and so is Rarity. She's being supportive because she's Fluttershy's friend which is great but Fluttershy hates all the attention. It is so strange because it would have been a lot better if the roles were reversed. Rarity would love being in the spotlight and she should be since she's so talented. There has to be a way to help them without breaking my promise. I don't think I want a cupcake in the eye.

Dear Diary

I decided to help out Fluttershy by using magic to make her unattractive. I knew it would have been impossible for Fluttershy to do it herself. She's always so adorable right down to her sneezes. It was working but I didn't know that Rarity would show up and support her friend. It was so wonderful of her to do that but the problem of these two finally talking was driving me crazy.

I came so close to just telling them the secrets they both shared with me but I managed to keep quiet. I even found myself sticking my head in a plant to shut myself up. Finally Rarity and Flutershy started talking about their feelings so now they are back on track. But I let slip the secret about Spike having a crush on Rarity. I didn't mean to and Rarity didn't hear me but Photo Finish did.

So I learned that it is better to tell your friend how you're feeling since that can make things a lot easier. Also secrets are hard to keep especially when you know other secrets that you think the other pony should know. Of course you should keep that secret but I think I'd like to avoid having any more secrets because this was very stressful. I think I need some tea.

Dear Diary

Who knew that delicious apple pie could make enemies friends. Now the ponies and the buffalo are friends and no pony got hurt. It was looking really bad for a while especially after Pinkie sang that song. I don't know what she was thinking. I guess that was the problem. But the song did have a good message. It is a good thing that the ponies had those pies ready since that was the key to making peace.

Those pies are really good. I've never had such delciious pies not even when I lived in Camelot. Now the buffalo have a place to run and the ponies have an easier time of getting the apples off the trees. I know how hard it is to get the apples off the trees after helping Applejack when she was the only one in her family doing it during bucking season.

I really enjoyed going to Appleloosa. It was so wonderful to see peace made between the buffalo and the ponies. We need to learn how to share with one another. Things are always better that way. Everyone had a good reason to need the land and now they can both use it for their needs. I just hope Pinkie doesn't start singing again since that might not go over so well.

Dear Diary

I am so relieved. I guess I let my imagination run away with me. I thought for sure that Princess Celestia would banish Fluttershy and me to some place that might not have a post office. Luckily that won't happen. I was just worried when Fluttershy took Princess Celestia's pet. She really did try to help her.

We didn't know that Philomena's a Phoenix and that she's supposed to look that way before she turns into ashes and ashes from them. She's really beautiful. I should have known that the Princess would be understanding of what happened. Fluttershy just wanted to help an animal that she thought was in need although it turns out that she wasn't. We had quite the adventure chasing Philomena around.

I know I tend to go a little crazy with how things will turn out. I just can't seem to help myself. I wonder if I should write books and put my imagination to good use. Maybe an adventure story about a pony that goes on exciting adventures and learns a life lesson each day. Oh I don't know about that. I guess I'll leave that to the ponies who know how to write about exciting adventures.

Dear Diary

Wow I just found out that we all got our cutie marks at the same time. I remember seeing that rainbow which turned out to be Rainbow Dash. This is like a sign that we were all meant to be friends. We were tied together before we ever met. I'm so glad that we found out about that. Friendship is such a special thing and getting your cutie mark is one of the milestones of a ponies life.

You can't rush it. It will appear when you're ready for it. Having a blank flank is a wonderful thing because it means you're full of all sorts of possibilities. Getting a cutie mark was quite exciting for me because I was with Princess Celestia. She's the one that pointed it out to me. I am so lucky that she accepted me as her student.

I'm one lucky pony. I came to Ponyville and met the friends that I didn't know about yet. It was like fate decided we were meant to be best friends even before we laid eyes on each other. That makes me feel very special indeed. Friends really make life better. Life can't always be about books. I never really understood that before I came here and met the girls.

Dear Diary

What a great night. The meteor shower was so beautiful. I just wish I had my book with me. Spike is such a big help. He told me that I already know the names of the stars. Okay maybe I almost do but I don't think I know all of them. It was such a nice time that I spent with all of my friends and Spike's great snacks. I don't know what I'd do without him. The evening tired the poor little guy out.

It was such an unexpected surprised to meet Alawishus. My scroll had blown out the window. I was about to go out to see if I could find it when this little owl showed up. He is going to be such a help. Spike is really great but owls are nocturnal so this little guy can help me at night. I probably would have had to start my paper all over again if it wasn't for him.

All in all it was a great evening. it is so amazing that we were able to see something that only shows up every hundred years. Looking up at the sky makes me realize just how very small we are down here. The sky is vast and endless. It is full of stars that sparkle in the night sky. It is so beautiful.I just wish I could be around to see it again.

Dear Diary

I'm so glad that Spike is safe and sound. I was really worried about him when he ran off. The poor little guy thought I didn't love him anymore and wanted to replace him. I told him that wasn't true. I just wanted to make sure he got the sleep he needed while I work at night. Thanks to Alawishus we were able to get Spike out of that cave and away from that very large dragon.

Wow I wonder if Spike will one day be that big. I hope he isn't as mean and scary as that dragon. I could almost feel the flames on my tail as I ran but we were able to get away. Now Spike realizes that you can care about more than one person. He was jealous of all the attention Alawishus was getting. He now knows how very important he is.

I let him write the letter to Princess Celestia himself but he fell asleep. I'll just have him finish it in the morning. I think it is his turn to tell the Princess what he has learned. After I put Spike to sleep I noticed that Alawishus was gone. Maybe he's off getting something to eat. I'm so glad he was able to follow the trail that Spike made with his ketchup covered feet.

Dear Diary

It wasn't easy keeping Pinkie's party a secret. We just wanted her to have the best birthday a pony could have. Those cupcakes were so yummy. I was so tempted to just have one but I resisted temptation since they were for the party. Pinkie throws such great parties that we just wanted to do something special for her.

PInkie had no idea what we were planning. I do feel bad about her thinking that we turned our backs on her. We are best friends forever. I couldn't imagine my life without these ponies in my life. They make life so much more fun. Pinkie loved the party and a great time was had by all. I even saw Rarity sneaking off to get another cupcake. Those were very delicious.

I wish Mrs Cake would give me the recipe since I'd love to try to bake some myself. Ooh maybe I could try to use magic to make cupcakes. I'm just not sure if they would turn out. They could end up as bricks or maybe mud. On second thought I'll just let the expert do all the baking. It looks easy but I bet it isn't.

Dear Diary

I went to the Grand Galloping Gala. I was able to cast that spell that allowed me to turn that apple into a carriage. I even managed to change the mice into horses but Opalescent scared them off. Luckily Rarity was able to get two of her neighbors to pull the carriage. I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place.

I was so excited but things didn't turn out the way I imagined that they would. I thought I'd get to spend the evening with Princess Celestia and that we'd get to talk but instead I just stood there while Princess Celestia greeted everyone. It was really hard to talk. She'd say something and then someone would show up that she'd have to greet.

So it was supposed to be the best night ever but it soon turned into the worst night ever. It was nothing like I'd hope it would be. I imagined how it would be and it was nothing like that. I was a little surprised when Princess Celestia told us that the gala was always bad until we showed up and spiced things up in a sense. Things got a little crazy. I didn't see what happened since I was in Princess Celestia.

We should have all stayed together and did like Spike wanted. We all ended up at the donut shop and had fun. So the evening was saved after all since we were all together. Fluttershy had a really hard time. She went a little crazy when all the animals kept running away from her. I know that had to really hurt and that crowd just wasn't into Applejack and her tasty apple treats.
